FIRST MONDAY MORNING OF THE MONTH BOOK CLUBSuggestions from the January 9, 2012 Gathering
“The Butterfly Effect” seemed to be a common theme among several books presented in this month’s gathering, illustrating how our everyday actions can make a difference for generations to come. Every decision and action one makes in life matters, not only for today, but for the future.
We are the curators for the next generation.
